In a recent conversation, Rashmika Mandanna shared insights into the reception of Animal and expressed that the team anticipated a variety of reactions. She stated, "We always knew that it would have mixed conversations, and honestly, I’m really happy about it because everyone’s opinion and perspectives are different."
Emphasizing the diversity of thoughts, she added, "You can’t tell everyone to think the same thing or expect everyone to think something in a certain way. People have their own opinions." Expressing her satisfaction with the varied discussions spurred by the film, she further stated, "And I'm really glad that a film like Animal had different sorts of conversations happening. I was really happy about it, and I'm sure the team was also. You are not everyone’s cup of tea as an actor, but it’s always interesting to know what kind of tea they prefer."
